Well many of you read about my new furbaby. I had her at the vet today per my agreement with the animal shelter and it appears she has some skin issue. They think its a skin allergy of some sort so we are treating her with steroids and clavamox as well as a topical treatment for the individual spots. She has some scabs and two particular places near her shoulders that she bothers with. The vet wants to see her in a week and make sure she is healing and then talk long term treatment. The vet did mention if she doesn''t start to get better by next week that we test for ringworm. So I guess my question is , has anyone dealt with a pet with skin issues? Does anyone have any suggestions? She is such a happy girl but you can tell some of the irritated areas really bother her. I am not bringing my other cat to the new place until we are sure what we are dealing with. I''ve heard that changing her food might help and that now that she is in a stress free enviroment that will help too but my heart is breaking for her right now. Any and all suggestions and help is greatly appreciated!
